Abstract

Gas phase acrylonitrile electron affinity has recently been estimated to be in the range 0.01 to 0.02 eV. In spite of a strong theoretical prediction on the existence of stable anions for molecules having dipole moments larger than the critical 1.625 D, it has not been possible to obtain a positive electron affinity for acrylonitrile (dipole moment = 3.9 D) by ab initio SCF and MP2 calculations using 6–31G, 6–3IG*, 6–31+G(d), 6–31++G(d, p), and 6–311++G(2d,2p) bases
